We at Sustainable Green Initiative
(SGI) are always looking for reasons to plant trees.

And as January ushers in the New Year,
there can’t be a better time to welcome days holding the promise of
hope.

After all, January is named after
Janus, the Roman god of doors and windows, who was worshipped before starting
any good work. With two faces – one looking back and one ahead – Janus is
also indicative of saying goodbye to the past and looking ahead to the
future.

To mark new beginnings, SGI will plant
timber and avenue trees such as Ashoka, Mahogany, Malaysian Sal, Neem,
Maulsari Elengi and many others at Rabindra Sarovar, Subash Sarobar,
SAI Eastern Complex and SPCI Joka, Kolkata, India, on Sunday, January 4,
2014. The planting is also dedicated to people who lost their lives or loved
ones in the past year. And to the many innocents who were killed in weather
and terror attacks of 2014.

Here’s hoping we will only plant trees
for love and luck in the coming years.
